Penang, day by day

Penang is George Town's UNESCO grid of shophouses, clan temples, mosques and murals, the best street food in Malaysia, a funicular up a hill with a canopy walk, a ten-storey Buddhist temple and a coast of beaches and rainforest at the end of the bus line. Start with three days that walk the heritage core, climb the hill and reach the coast, with the prices and hours the operators publish for 2026.
